[2000-11-26-Monterrey] Mosco de la Merced & Mr Niebla & Silver Star vs Pimpinela Escarlata & Arandu & Llamarada

[soup23]

Really dry lucha action. Pimpinela has some moments and the brawling on the outside in the row of seats was a highlight but beside that, this was a huge slog to get through and I still think Monterrey has had some highlights but its fair share of pedestrian stuff. This is even worst than that and below average overall for lucha action. Finish has Escarlata with the pin even though Niebla has his foot on the rope. One of the worst lucha matches we have seen this year that wasn’t AAA overbooked nonsense. *1/2

This was run of the mill undercard stuff. It wasn't bad but it didn't help that Pimpi was the only decent rudo. You could probably make a case that Pimpi's act isn't strong enough to carrry about like this but I think we're fortunate to have a large sample of his work on tape so I won't quibble. Intead, I look at a guy like Arandu. You'd never guess that he was once a hugely charismatic guy who had wild hair vs. hair bouts in Monterrey. He hasn't had an exngaging exchange the entire year, not even a simple piece of shtick to remind folks of his former life. At least Pimpi got a win here. Against Niebla too, who has been a dick in Monterrey. Can't call this one of the worst lucha matches of the year for that reason alone. But it as definitely middling.
